Journee's adventures in Music! Mattic Ed.

I told you guys I would be putting up different facts and blurs few videos about my interesting friends. & its Mattics turn! I had to catch him while he was in the states because he spends most of his time in France. (How hot is that! Yes there are brown people in France!) Muscly he's a major force in the over seas market. I promise you it blows my mind how I know people who have like rocked

Madison Square Garden

type venues. & can't get no love in the states. That's the problem with the US. The states dick ride. Go off of whatever gimmick is hot @ that time or moment. Instead of respecting the music. Listening to its content. Nothing is wrong with having dance songs. But when that's all it is. That's a problem. But that's another blog all together. This is about Mattic. He is honestly one of the nicest and smoothest kat's I've ever met! He has a sway to him that you can't ignore. He really don't need too many fancy words from the likes of me. Meet Mattic
He honestly rarely performs here so getting this free style footage is truly a treat.

This is my life as a Indie Rap Promoter! {The mighty DR on the 1's and 2's}

Credit Checks 4 Jobs

I think this is the dumbest shit ever! Credit Checks to get a fucking job! In real life! Talk about holding poor people down! I just don't understand how can someone get a job to get out of debut.... If they can't get a job because they in debut? PLEASE break this down for me. I mean its out of order for places like TJ Maxx & Target to do fucking credit checks! Really just because your in debut don't mean:

A. You can't count.
B. Your going to become a thief to get out of debut.

I honestly hope B-Rock kill this practice because this is straight BS. Nope I'm not fussin because my credit is screwed to hell. I'm good. I think my credit score is high enough to get me a job (aint that some shit). But I still call out wrong doings. This shit right here! WRONG! I don't even see it as a brown or clear thing. Because i know its clear people who have bad credit.
{Now if the brown & clear person both have bad credit & same qualifications that's a different story!} I just don't think that your qualifications should be the only thing that's looked at when applying for a job! Period. Can this person do the job.....

They want to make sure people stay down.... Talk about the big bullshit.

Ike Turnah

I guess its no big shock that I hold my friends very close! I mean they are about off balanced as they come and I love it. And seeing how my friends are so different. A great deal of my friends are rappers. & no not your everyday rappers. I mean good ones. Some who have major over seas success. And a lot who are making there way to the top here. So I was thinking to myself. (SELF) why not show the world a different side of them you other wise wouldn't see. 1st up to bat is Ike Turnah. I think this clip shows you our friendship @ its greatest! Because we are like this everyday. We not showing off. Its just us! ! He is so out the box. Enjoy. And I promise you this is how he acts everyday! Got to love him! & if bug-n w/ us makes you want to check out his music http://turnahclassics.blogspot.com/

NO HOMO

Who thought of this tarded ass shit? And more importantly who the fuck would co-sign it? I blame Beyonce. {Nope she didn't do anything to bring me to this conclusion. But hell she has been the cause of my rants in so many blogs. Its just kind of natural for me to blame her. But o you can't front it sounds like something she would start. With the matching NO HOMO dance. "If ya not gay then put no homo on it.... o o o o o o o o o"My Sorry.} But in real life what makes people think by putting "No Homo" on something just turns them straight. I will never understand the logic behind this statement. Like a man can come in and say "I just sucked 5 dicks. But no homo tho." "Damn that nikka got some juicy lips. No Homo." NO people NO! That's very much Homo! Wearing jeans that show your dick print. HOMO! Men running around with pearls and halter tops. HOMO. Stop with the No Homo. It don't make it straight. It's not like No Homo has healing powers. It don't cure you of gay. If you are homo just be the best homo you can be. Yes be Fierce darling! I think i'm going to start a counter statement to be said in the case someone says "No Homo" The new thing is going to be "Yes Homo" I figure if "No Homo" is a cure for these in closet homo thoughts. Then Yes Homo will be the cure for people who don't want to acknowledge what they really are! You better come out now while Kanye's turning the world gay. And blame it on the alcohol! Just stop with the no homo.






Now my homeboy Will Hatcher has found the man who made up "No Homo" and has scored a exclusive interview with him. Check it out.

If I were a boy....

Here we go again. Journee' is bitching with a cause.....


I have to 1st jump on Ciara. Because she started this foolishness and Beyonce just dick road it. When this track 1st came out almost every female I know was like "YEAH YEAH I feel her Yeah she kicking the truth." I don't know if I was listening to the same song or what. Because I saw where she was going. But in the end it just made me feel like she needed to work on her pimp hand more. There was NOTHING.... I repeat NOTHING. In this song that I don't do, haven't done or couldn't do if i wanted to. Gender has nothing to do with it.

Hell I'm a single women living by myself Yeah I take my trash out. I have security codes on everything because hell I know some nosy ass people. I don't know what is in this song that she or any women couldn't do. It's not like she said "Take a piss standing up like him...."

I'm just trying to help some women look between the lines. There is nothing in this song you couldn't do if you aint want to. Its time women start working out their pimp hand. For real. I am really concerned about the future of women who feed into this foolishness.

Then to make matters worse. Here come Beyonka's follow the leader ass with If I were a Boy. Saying the same shit Ciara just said. The issue was lacking to start. She did nothing to help it out. Again Journee' says if you want to act like that then do it. Hell I love being a female. I control my emotions I control when I take out the trash. I'm good. LOL. I was so happy when R. Kelly jumped on the Beyonce remix and just broke out. So bloody hard. "BUT YOUR NOT A BOY!!!!!!!!!!" Cause your not. Get over it.... Or do reverse drag. If so many women want to be men so bad. Why don't you go to the sex shop get a strap on. & Walk down the street grabbing your rubber nuts. In the mean time SHUT THE FUCK UP! Because you can do everything in those songs. Hell look @ Sam from Sex in the City! These tracks aren't the truth! Listen to the lyrics. Think about what's being said. And if I'm wrong please correct.

Journee' Sucks Right Now

I know I know I have been mad slack on my blog. But I've been off doing what I love to do. Its hard being a Indie Rap promoter but it's also the greatest at the same time. I'm just getting back from my trip to ATL. The Ozy Reigns release party was bloody ILL! I've been listening to the his Exciting Times album non-stop. Its honestly the future of hip hop. In like 20 something tracks. He put hip hop on his back. & holds it up proudly. I'm so proud of him. Its crazy! I will go into details a little later. I'm really trying to recoop. My life is changing in so many great ways. I'm just trying to take it all in. Get on track. It's a lot of work to be done in a very small amount of time. But all is working out for the best.

In the words of Little Brother "I still hustle just like you. I still struggle just like you. Just so happen that "Journee" doing what I love to do"

Journee' on Pastor Troy

Now I wont pretend like I know this man personally and I don't want you to think I'm hating. But I really don't like this cat's musics. I never understood his point of view. So if someone out there is a fan. And can get down with what this cat is saying. Please drop the knowledge on me. Because I surely think he be on some 100% high talk. I mean who would really come up with this whole vice versa concept. This track came out when I was high school. & we did have the people who bust out and try and break down the knowledge of the song. (Who just so happen to be high.) Or the one's who just wanted it to knock @ the club so they could say YEAH!!!!!!!!

But the song its self just seems sinful to even listen to.
"Picture everything you thought was good was really bad."
Well hell anyone with a Ex can picture that.
I don't think this guy is deep at all. More or less full of shit and got away with it.
There are those moments where people just try and beyond "Overly" deep!
i know a few songs where this has happen. & they lost me all together. i am soooo mad @ myself for not remembering this song name or the artist.. I'm slipping
Around late 90s early 2000s that damn song worked my nerves!
LOL
when I do recall it i will prob post it. Over all he was being just too damn deep.
Around 7 dangling participles too damn much!
Which I think has happen in this case.
Honestly it don't even seem right thinking no shit like this.

[Pastor Troy - talking]
Yeah (yeah)
This song is called Goddamn, Vica Versa
(I'm doin' my best to save my people)
It's like, (The people & I will rely in God)
Picture everything that you thought was good, was really bad
Everything bad, was really good
(What if Heaven was on Earth nigga)
The whole world, vica versa
(Good is bad)
Vica versa (Bad is good)
(Dear Lord am I the only one?)
This shit here, Goddamn, gon'
Go'n get you a fat blunt of that 'dro
Smoke that shit
(It's all vica versa)
Look up in the air nigga
(We rich nigga)
(This is what we doin', it's vica versa)
I know all these real niggas gone feel this shit
Vica Versa, Pastor Troy
(Vica Versa)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What if Heaven was Hell and vica versa
If I told you go to Hell, would you tell I cursed ya?
I reimbursed ya with the truth so you know my fate
And pray I die, I'm that nigga that they love to hate
I wanna make you use yo mind, God has sent a sign
And when you listen to these rhymes, nigga take your time
Again I ask, Heaven was hell and vica versa
Would you start doin' evil in order to nurture--the spirit man?
Do you understand that there's a war?
It's ragin' on and the devil got some ammo too
Don't get me wrong, but I put my trust off in the Lord
It's too corrupt, know that God gon' help me blow 'em up
I give a fuck, Heaven was hell and vica versa, I have no fear
I done witnessed too much Hell right here, lend me your ear
Recall the beer we had to po'
For all our niggaz hit the Devil with the .44
Payback nigga
My liquor keep my from tryin' to enter, battle alone
And to deal with all this wickedness, I smoke a zone
Know I'm grown, but I'm still a baby
It's vica versa so I guess I'll beg Satan to save me
God I'm confused, the fuse of all these motherfuckers, makin' me sick
{*Virgin Mary never fucked nobody, but she suck dick*}
With a clique of nasty concubines, and vice-a versa
So she'll probably do the whole nine, that nasty ho
I don't know where I'ma go this Christmas, it's Satan's birth
I'ma try to smoke a pound of weed, and ease the Earth
While Jesus equiped with angels, the Devil's equiped with fire
For God so love the world that he blessed the thug with rocks
Won't stop until they feel me
Protect me Devil, think the Lord is tryin' to kill me
It's vica versa
Heaven is below, while this dozier keep me high
To see the Lord almighty nigga, I'm ready to die
My reply for any questions asked, "The Devil made me do it"
Who's the Devil may I ask?, It's so polluted
Up-rooted from all this stupid shit
See me cremated, my adaption to the climate
So glad I made it
Elated that they gon' go to Heaven
But do they know Heaven may not be th place to go
Again I ask, Heaven was Hell and vica versa
The devil's in me and I'll be damned if I'm gon let god hurt ya
Follow me...

[Peter the Disciple]
If it was vica versa, I'd be and angel, 'cause I'm a devil
A Down South Georgia Rebel, a whole 'nother fuckin' level
Remenisin' on all the good and the bad that I did
Bustin' caps and splittin' wigs
And servin' nicks and talkin' shit
This is vica versa no fuckin' commercial
Heaven or Hell, where do we go?
When we die, eternal fire or the street of gold
Only God knows, vica versa

Journee' Loving B.O.B

Slow Moment

Yo

Blog fam you know I don't make no excuses for my slow moments. & trust over the last week or so I've been having one. So don't laugh. But what's up with this new follow button. It make it seem like I'm not following folk I know I am. Or is this some widget button I've pushed on my own lol.

HELP!

Journee' On Single Ladies/ Single Ladies Gang Fight!

I know some of my readers may think I'm a Beyonce hater.... Never that I love a few of her tracks. Oddly this being one of them. And no don't get me wrong. I'm not one of these chicks out here feenin to get married. FUCK THAT. (Been there done that, don't feed into the hype) But knowing what I know this song entertains me a hella of a lot! So I remix the worlds. "All the single ladies. All the single ladies. Take the ring OFF..... O O O O O O O O O O" LOL. But these chicks out here be on some other stuff when it comes to this track. Like its a theme song. Like its going to get a man to marry them. But let me break this down 1. Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it and not want it no more!


-----> Never get someone you dating name tatted on you. Best way to become a single lady and stay one. LOL.


I have said this time and time again. Don't let Bonyka [She looks more like a Bonyka then Sasha] get you messed up in this game. There is nothing wrong with being a single women. Don't feel like you need a man or a ring to be whole. Trust I'm not a love hater.... If that what you do then do it! I'm just saying don't be afraid to stand on your own! You can put a ring on yourself. Fuck if he like it. Wake up with your roses smelling like boo boo ooo oooooo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qaZ9VzeprI It's ok to like the song but take it for what it is.

But another reason I now love this song is because I was lucky enough to witness something so just wonderfully foolish! To the point where people don't believe me when I said it happen. They think I made it up. I know a bunch of totally random things happen in my life. People I am really not creative enough to make up such greatness! I tried to tape it (before I got my flip) But its not the best. But you can look closely and see that it happen.


I was hanging out downtown QC with my cousin @ Rock Bottom one night. Rock Bottom has a area where you can sit and look out side and check out what's going on. So while I was sitting there killin my salmon salad I looked up and saw a group of gay young men in white zip up hoodies. And thin jeans. (Some of those kat's had on tights. No way jeans can be that thin... Yes THIN! They were beyond skinny!) And they had the bottom of their hoodies wrapped around their L Bows! Runway walking down the street.... I thought that was a treat in its self. But nope they were just teasing me.....

THEY HAD MORE IN STORE!!!!!!

Like 5 min's later they come back down the street this time they were looking a wee bit ticked. Walking with diva like strength. So we are thinking... What the hell pissed them off.... And then we see it.... YEP! It was a rival gay gang coming up. (I suppose) They had on V necks and thin jeans (not as coordinated as the other crew) But it was something out of west side story Like when they came down the block snapping! My cousins likes to say it was like MJ's bad video !Which ever greatness was unfolding before our eyes lol. You see they ended up running into each other in front of Fox & Hound. It was like something out of a movie. I was glued to the window dropping dressing everywhere. Wondering what was about to happen. It was a few finger snaps and then the grand show!
One of the hoodie crew members broke out and started doing the single ladies DANCE . I kid you not! Just randomly in front of us! YES YES YES... And was getting it too! But the oddest thing happen... Well since it was a battle I guess it wasn't that odd. But hell it shocked the hell outta me! When the one in the white hoodie crew dipped down. A member of the other team dips down too.... {Like he was saying... O hell*s* NO!!!!!!!!!} and they pop up doing the fist punching the ground part of the video! O what a treat! I honestly couldn't take it. Because it was some jazz hands big finish! WOW! All that greatness care of Beyonce's single ladies! OOOOOOOOOOOOO I need to buy her a damn drink!!!!! Normally you have to pay big for entertainment like that. Yes I love it!

Hanging wit my cousin


This is crazy! DD got my pic right when I saw my old high school friend. You gotta love my hat lol. C/O Ozy Reigns lol. I told you my friends spoil me lol.

My week in review!

Man this has been one of the crazy-est weeks ever. I feel like I'm a sophomore in college again! LOL But the week hasn't been all smiles. Its been bitter sweet. So I'm going to get the bitter out of the way first. This week my extended family has suffered a tragic death. Please keep my Cuz-O and her fam in your thoughts prayers and meditations. I don't think i could ever come to grips with how cold hearted some people can be. It's really sad.

Back to the happier stuff.

I have to take us back to the Quill show. I have a pic that me & DD took before the "Nigga Moment" unfolded. Photobucket" border="0"> This show as a good way to start the week. From that day we go to Monday. I hung out with my homeboy Bis for some best friend time the god father & egg rolls....!!!!!! Yeah my friends spoil me lol. Now the next great friend event was FREE 99 @ the IHOP! Here we are wildin
Free 99 from Empress Journee on Vimeo.
Yeah we show out! lol. So after returning from my mini trip I got back into the CIAA mood. Went to this event. WoW. It was an OVER FLOW of foolishness in my city this week. I happen to get a few clips and flicks of things that just made me laugh and that I enjoyed lol. So Lets check it out.
We went to this show.... & these women came and sat beside us smelling like a liquor house mixed with rusty ass cigarettes & moth balls. It was the fucking worse. One women got up and left the row because these chicks smelled so bad. Yes I said it. & for me having to smell that shit I'm putting that ass on blast-O
This Chick from Empress Journee on Vimeo. We are so smooth with our blast-o's you wouldn't even seen it coming. Do you see the hair???? Wow. Finger waves and scrunchies Yes Scrunchies people!!!! You would have thought I saw a dog walk on two legs the way it that there amazed me. But she didn't top the cake. The topper has to be the lady in this red jacket we spotted @ the Day party... WOOOOOW.... WOOOW.... I don't know what makes me so luck as to be the one who sees such foolishness. But I love my life lol. WOW..... Really!!!! Really... she was walking around looking like a extra on star track!!!!! It was that deep!
Untitled from Empress Journee on Vimeo. Now for some reason we always seem to make friends in the club lol. You will see my suite buddy saying random things in the cam lol. Ty from CT! lol (Shot Out to him!) He was in there clowning the star track extra harder then me. & Trust that was way hard to do lol. That lady is a prime example of a women with NO real friends. NONE @ ALL.... It really made me sad to know that her friend pool was so shallow. But I thank who ever didn't tell her to find something else to wear. Because I enjoyed it greatly!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Untitled from Empress Journee on Vimeo. O She was going to get it! (Much love to DJ Chase! He killed that day party!!!! I promise you he's doing my next event. I party-ed like it was no tomorrow. Doing everything from the butt to the humpty dance. You don't want it with my humpty.)
Now during this week- weekend... i had a lot of fun. I mean my business partner came down. Man was that trippy. As soon as we get up we get harassed by the police. I have NEVER been harassed by the police NOT NEVER. Sure a ticket here and there. But nothing like what happen. A guy was standing my my car with a beer bottle. He wasn't hanging on my window or anything he's like 20 steps away from my car! When like five cops come to where we are and start flashing lights and quizzing us. I mean I had just got out the house. So I hadn't had a sip of a drink! Didn't smoke not nothing. They were being real extra. Well correction one officer was being willy limp dick extra! The other one's were pretty cool. Looking at his ass like would you please leave these people alone! I promise that prick tried to run down our family trees! Soooooo how do you know them. When did you guys meet. How long you been here. They saw us pull in the lot and look for a park. So he was really being a fucking ass wipe. QC Finest right there. ALL DAY! I have VERY sensitive eyes. So his flashing this light in my eyes was not only extra but hurt like fuck! He held it there for like 4 or 5 minutes. I was seeing all types of spots and flickers. PISSED! I can't stand when some folk get a badge and then want to start act-n all extra.

Needless to say we took off from there hella fast.

Ended up walking down town. Cooling out. & chillin in this lot. Where I slipped up. This chick was FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED UPPPPPPPPP!!! Trying to fight everyone in the lot. Shit was just funny to me. & I didn't turn on the cam for nothing. :-( She was funny. Trying to fight the chick trying to help her. & this other kat. I'm not going to put him on BLASTO but this other kat had the nerve to LICK my fucking window. YES! He licked the outside of my car window. That shit was the NASTY-EST crap I have ever seen. So we get into it. He say he didn't lick my window he just put his tongue on it. Really PEOPLE! Say no to drugs! ErRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRr...... NEGRO's I tell ya.
Anywho if you can't tell I'm working off of something like two hours sleep. Maybe... But the weather took a turn for the rainy. So the day party wasn't about to go down. Instead me my brother (I haven't seen my brother in forever. LOL. We close but when you live on opposite sides of town. You have to pick your battles lol. He all buff now look lol.) and cus braved a two to three hour wait @ the cheese cake factory. BANGING. I think my next rant will be getting a cheese cake factory on my side of town. You have to go over the mountain and through the woods to get there now. But we had a ball! & it gave me the boost I needed in order to con.t my party-n lol. This night was crazy. Gloomy weather and all... I did a double hitter that night. Started off with my girls @ Cosmo's! The clips are too dark. from that party. But trust we got some pics. The cosmo's party was crazy! (Shot Out to the guy who kept buying me long islands! lol) Man! SHoW YA RIGHT! I wasn't drunk but I was real nice! lol. I will party with the green shirt guy any time. He kept the drinks coming lol.
